I'm guessing my taunts didn't work....
Sweet XJ man! This is pretty much what I wish I had the time to make mine look like. Gotta get a new seat made up and fine tune the front end....
Alright so I thought this was cool. http://www.allballsracing.com/index.php/forkconversion. I used my bike as the search reference and it gave...
Where the hell does he get these parts?
I actually kind of like the red on it. I have red anodized bar stoppers on the handlebars and it might look cool we shall see.
Thanks Rick! I like the seat from the side, but if I could somehow make it into the fender as well I could keep it and just shave the sides...
Okay so I need to know more about the bike. I'm just going to rifle off what I'd like to know about: the headlight, rear fender, fork gaiters:...
Go here: http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic ... relay.html This is exactly what I did and I now have my blinkers working properly.
I bought the Tridon EL13 variable load flasher relay. My new bulbs draw 23 watts and all I had to do was switch the wires out of the little...
I only have a speedo from an old DT bike. It doesn't work lol. I lost my old speedo cable a year ago or more and forgot to even get a new one,...
Well originally I thought it was a Maxim too, but I re-looked up the VIN and sure enough I had a SECA this whole time. It is rejetted with a...
Okay, so I put a new vacuum line to the petcock and it now works as it should. Oil is good and blinkers work beautifully. Took her for a good...
I wish I knew what any of this meant.
This sounds interesting. I too have a murdercycle I'm sure Max would be proud of. Check it out: murdercycle. Can't wait to see the upcoming...
Ran out of gas/gas in the crankcase (left the petcock on Prime). Walked my bike back home for 1.5 miles in full gear: socks, boots, long johns,...
Yeah I noticed after it sits a little bit I have to slap the side of the float bowls until I hear that little "clink" sound from the floats. I'm...
Okay blown bulb indeed. Here's another problem. I am usually super anal about my petcock being left on Prime (since it doesn't run with it to...
I'm going to find a bunch of wood, make a crate and write on it and spray paint Japanese characters onto it then come up with a fake back story...
Just put it back on, like try and mock it up and you will have your answer. I think mine could have stayed with my 4-into-1 config, but I didn't...
Alright I'll give it a try. I'm just going to make a nice clean ground point that I can screw them both too. Also is it okay to ground both of...
Yeah I forgot to mention that the bulb still looked good but I'll give it another look by replacing it. And if anyone was curious the current...
Alright so before I messed with anything else I found the sticky on this forum about relays and finally got the Tridon EL13 and now I have...
Yeah the river behind the house is super high and Atlantic City is flooded to shit. The Ben Franklin is shut down so I can't go to work until...
If BKLZ doesn't sell you his PM me I have a stock setup from my '82 SECA 750. It's all chrome duals with normal 30 year old wear and scratches....
The caps are vented? So just unlock it and ride around for a few? I don't have a tach or working speedo so how would I know I'm at 5k. Also no...
Badass bobber dude! As far as the cables go; lowbrow.com has a cool "how-to" on making custom length cables for your bike. In fact they have a...
Okay, so after a thorough cleaning and rebuild of the petcock and new fuel filter, put on the right way, it seems like the bike can still only...
How did you keep the fins paint free? I've heard of using petroleum jelly and of course masking each one, or simply sanding them off carefully...
Re: Valve Cover Donut Tool? Yeah you should have seen my expression when I couldn't figure it out because I was rushing to get the tutorial...
Ha ha "THIS" winter? She's getting tore down and completely rebuilt. New gaskets everywhere (if possible and within the budget). Carbs will be...
First off congrats. You look pretty stoked to be riding with your dad in that picture. Also how the hell did you get a free SECA? And lastly I...
Probably can't fit any filters on the middle of the carbs due to the reservoir on the mono shock. And the tank is probably an old KZ tank as...
I feel like your (HarryT3) Dr. Zahi Hawass finding a royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and your about to pop the sarcophagus open. We're...
So my headlight bezels were rusted to shit.... After one badly patched pot hole too many, my headlight popped out while riding. Bouncing around...
Okay found a really nice thread on it I'll try messing with it tonight and search for a relay that matches the wattage. The wattage is usually...
Okay awesome thanks again fellas! I'll search for some threads, but if you happen to hear or see anything pertaining to it lemme know.
K.....
Okay... so I added some really nice minimal blinkers, both front and rear, from Dime City Cycles. I mounted and hooked them up in probably 10-15...
I have the Haynes and a factory NOS manual for a Maxim... when I thought that's what it was a lol. I'm going to start my research now that I...
Wish I could go, but I work up in Philly and the shoobies going down to the beach will cause me a huge headache with traffic.
That's pretty cool thanks for the great info. My suspension feels a bit stiff, given it's probably still the 29 year old tech. Any suggestions...
Ah gotcha yes its linked and not directly on the shaft coming out of the case.
As opposed to rubber mounted motors on a Maxim? What do you mean by reversed shifter? I'm still pretty new to the particulars of the XJ models...
Re: cracks in the rubber connections between cylinders and carbs Mine were in the same condition smooth and unbroken on the inside, cracked and...
Yeah LEDs would be pretty cool. Actually as like running lights or signals maybe... And yeah keeps the brush away and my bike from sucking up...
Thanks maverickbr77! Yeah I just spent half an hour reading the rest of Chacals write up only to scan down and finally see it, except you...
Thanks Hmmm...I'm going to dig up some photos and check it out. As for the VIN: 1 JYA5G2002CA109289
The rear frame rails are actually going to be appointed a new rear end which is just a piece of radius tubing that will follow the contour and up...
So a few other things I would love to do to the bike: newer, lighter shocks for the rear; new headlight (LED or H4) and/or headlight bucket and a...
Where'd you get those forward controls? Sweet ass clean bike b.t.w.
